บท 872: Sounding Someone Out

Prince Xiao didn't believe the Dragon King's speculations. "The Unique King's in contact with someone close to the emperor? That's basically impossible. That kind of thing can never be kept a secret. Colluding with foreigners – especially with a killers organization – is a capital offence. The Dragon King should know that the Imperial Court of the Central Plains has always been very sensitive to this kind of thing. A hidden letter from a foreigner is more than enough to cause a top-rank official to be dismissed."

"I think that this possibility does exist. And it's also worthy of Prince Xiao's investigation."

Gu Shenwei actually was very certain that the so-called "death offence" mentioned by Prince Xiao was just a kind of coercion. The Unique King had refused to disclose who the original employer had been, and he hadn't even kept any related records. However, he would never be afraid of profiting from this issue.
